Tennessee Fishing and Tn Fishing Maps

From Mississippi River catfishing in the west
to the trout streams in the east, Tennessee offers an array of fishing
outlets for almost anyone to take advantage of. There are a few
tried and true lakes such as Reelfoot Lake and Kentucky Lake that traditionally
boast an excellent crappie fishery year after year. As far as the state's largemouth population is concerned,
bass can be found in any of the typical mainstream Tennessee River reservoirs
throughout the state, including Kentucky and Chickamauga Lakes.

For smallies,
highland lakes such as South Holston, Norris, Dale Hollow, and Watauga
are best. Many of the lakes in the eastern part of the state feature excellent
catch and release sized fish. Most of these smallmouth lakes have an 18
inch minimum length limit and while those fish numbers under the limit
are increasing somewhat, the trophy-sized 18-inch and above are staying
steady. Dale Hollow, however, is still the premier smallmouth lake in
the state, with its 16 to 21-inch slot and a reputation for housing trophy-sized
smallmouth.

Catfish anglers in Tennessee have the best of
all worlds: big rivers small lakes, small rivers, and reservoirs.
Big fish bodies of water including Watts Bar, Cheatham, Barkley, the Mississippi
River, Kentucky Lake, and Chickamauga are excellent throughout the spring
and summer, while small lakes such as the Agency's Family Fishing lakes
in middle and west Tennessee offer year round catfish fishing. Sauger
fishermen can have success below Pickwick and Cordell Hull dams during
the winter months, while walleye can be caught in good numbers in Norris,
Center Hill, Tims Ford, and Tellico lakes in the spring. Trophy
striped bass and Cherokee bass (hybrid striped bass) can be found in lakes such as Norris, Cherokee, Watts Bar, and Tims Ford in the spring
and winter months.

For trout anglers, the brookies in the Smokies and in the Cherokee National
Forest offer a challenging fishing experience. World
class rainbow and brown trout fishing can be found in tail waters
below South Holston, Wilbur (Watauga), Norris (Clinch), and Center Hill
(Caney Fork) dams.
